say it isn't so

~~Fiction~~

This came to me after I heard the news
that a little girl, 2 months old, died
in our apartment complex last night...
they think it was SIDS (Sudden Infant
Death Syndrome). I hesitated to post
it, but feel I should. I don't know
what the mother felt, but this may
come close...my sympathies to the
family of this precious little angel.


Poem Artwork


cold in here
this room of death
a hospital waiting room--

not knowing
and terrified
in this room that's seen heartache--

the sky cries
tears i can't shed
i think i've used my quotient--

and my prayers
are they for naught
is god even listening--

my baby
in i.c.u.
bathed in alien green light--

reflected
in nurses' eyes
in machines living for you--

and death calls
i'm not ready
for the news the doctor brings--

to this room
this cold, cold room
sucking the life out of me--

Karla you captured the way it may have been very well!
Death of a child is always the hardest to understand.
There doesn't seem to be an answer, except through faith
in the one who promised:
"He is with us always, even til the end of time"

Karla,

Can there be a greater loss than that of a child? Especially to such a silent, invisible killer? A touching, thoughtful write.

(((Karla)))

This really hit home, especially since what happened last night! Can't imagine the shock or horror this young mother must have felt when her baby was "down" and paramedics were working so hard to revive her! That has GOT to be a nightmare to end ALL nightmares! Excellent, heartbreaking, powerful write! Well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( >tears <
